    Quarantine Circular is a mostly well-written sci-fi tale that doesn't succumb to tired tropes or obvious plot contrivances to draw you in. Instead it uses its limited working space to deliver a captivating tale about human nature and our theoretical place within the universe.

    Quarantine Circular, while lacking the same focus as Subsurface Circular, is another engaging untangling of science fiction concepts with interesting characters, and it leaves you waiting for the next instalment.

    Mike Bithell and his team are doing important work, struggling with a challenging genre. Quarantine Circular hasn’t perfected it, but if you like stories, characters, dialogue and moral choices, it’s worth one playthrough — or maybe even six.

    The story doesn’t unfold as elegantly as Subsurface, but Quarantine pushes Bithell’s formula for these shorts into some affecting new directions, both thematically and structurally.

    the game is okay but a bit too slow pace and the puzzle isn't that good as other similar games

    A fascinating dialogue-driven tale dealing with themes of potential encounters with aliens and a global pandemic, which feels ironic now. MyA fascinating dialogue-driven tale dealing with themes of potential encounters with aliens and a global pandemic, which feels ironic now. My only complaint is that dialogue choices felt restrictive at times, but it's a relatively minor issue. Recommended to anyone who enjoyed Subsurface Circular. Full Review »

    Text speed is too slow. Interesting premise but not as good as subsurface puzzle or story wise. I got a bad ending for two minor choices
